<br />
While still under "stay at home" orders, and having completed the series on Wildlife of The Azure Gate, I thought a new series on Rare Birds to Southern Arizona might be fun.<br />
<br />
So here (in alphabetical order) are photos I've taken over the past 18 years of Rare Birds to Southern Arizona:<br />

Peruvian Cactus produce lovely blossoms. Like Prickly Pear Cactus they grow like weeds. They have a tall unbranched column which reaches about 3 or 4 feet and then falls over. Within a few weeks lots of new columns begin all along the column that fell. The blossoms are quite large -- 6 or 7 inches. They bloom at night and don't last more than a few hours of daylight.<br />
<br />
Here are some photos from today:<br />

As many of you know, we have had to close temporarily for travelers due to the pandemic. We have had some members of our family here, including our two grandchildren for a few days. And while we are "staying at home" as per the guidelines, it doesn't mean we aren't seeing wildlife.<br />
<br />
In the past 24 hours we've seen: a Bobcat, 5 Mule Deer, 4 Javelinas, a Coyote, a Desert Kingsnake, 2 Jackrabbits, a Tarantula, many lizards and birds, including a Roadrunner and our resident Cooper's Hawk that is sitting in one of our bird baths as I type this.<br />
<br />
**************************<br />
<br />
Now on to Today's Post:<br />
<br />
Our most frequent hawk is the Cooper's Hawk seen on a daily basis. Every few days a Sharp-shinned Hawk drops by for a drink and/or meal.<br />
<br />
Here are a couple of Sharp-shinned photos taken since the pandemic began in March.<br />

Over the 18 years we have lived and operated The Azure Gate Bed and Breakfast I have taken a great many photos here. Sometimes I get so focused on the "wildlife" that I forget to take a photo of its natural beauty.</div>

A couple of weeks ago there were five that came around, usually it's just one.<br />
<br />
Here are some photos:<br />
